After the ground breaking ceremony was held in April earlier this year, the Lucknow Metro project is moving EXTREMELY fast (See: August 1 Updates) keeping in mind the UP state elections which will be held in 2017. Here’s a gist of some of the recent updates.

4) The entire Metro route has been declared to be a no-vending zone, so commuters can expect not get hassled by vendors (source). This will also help prevent congestion on the road-level.

5) Richa Industries bagged the contract to build the Metro’s depot on a 46.5 acre land parcel at Transport Nagar (source). The project involves construction of 5 pre-engineered buildings (PEB), inspection bay line & workshop, stabling shed and car parking. The depot is expected to be completed by September 2016 (source).
